Large construction activities were taken up after Independence in India. These structures have outlived their lives now and are under demolition. From such demolitions, a considerable quantity of Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste is going to be generated. C&D waste is also being generated from repair, renovation and construction works. Hence, management of C&D waste has become a necessity.
Realising this, the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Government of India has notified “Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules, 2016” in which management of C&D waste generated by an individual, organisation or authority has been covered.
Even though few C&D waste recycling plants have been installed in the country, use of recycling materials has been made in isolated projects only and as such their wide use is to be made simultaneously while ensuring their quality.
